I am 18 years old. I was raised for most of my life in Trenton Ontario. Due to a problematic childhood, when I was 5 years old I lived in Oshawa on welfare with my biological mom and my brother. I got real good at stealing bread. Ha! Just kidding. I stole cars.

Finally when I was 8 years old I came back to Trenton to live with my amazing dad, and got a bonus mom and a bonus little brother. Soon after, my lovely new mom homeschooled me. At this time too I got involved in drama groups and music. I've always loved acting and would love to be involved in film-making from acting and directing to screenwriting. I took singing, drumming and guitar lessons, played the Virgin Mary a dozen times at church, and was part of groups like Spirit Borne Performing Arts and Young Company shows at the Stirling Festival Theatre, 

In November 2018, I starting going to an Open Mic night in Stirling ON where Timmy Boyle was entertaining everyone with his stories and interpretive dancing (Don't ask). Having never done stand-up comedy in my life, I thought, "How about I give it a try. I was incredibly nervous but I prepared a comedy set and performed it the next week. As if out of a Disney movie, Timmy Boyle (we'll say he's the Fairy Godmother) came up to me, handed me his business card and said, "Would you like to open my show?" I have now opened 7 of his shows on 3 different tours across Ontario and I have no reason to stop now

Craig has used the power of humour his whole entire life. Though earlier in life it brought multiple visits to the principal’s office, he has continued to use humour to inspire and encourage people wherever they were at in life.

Having competed as a teenager provincially as a public speaker, Craig learned very early in life that though technology continually changes, nothing has the power of the spoken word. So after decades of speaking to hundreds of people on a weekly basis, he has taken his unique take on life to the comedy stage.

Knowing that laughter is most often the best form of medicine (unless one has diarrhea), Craig’s approach to clean comedy leaves people in stitches… without the dirty aftertaste.

High School sweethearts, Rob and Rina have been married since 1990.  Their comedy story started in 2015 when Rob began performing stand-up.  After 3 years & a couple hundred sets, Rob’s “one-man” act took the first steps towards becoming a “duo”.  A Brantford area cat shelter had booked Rob for a fundraising event...that still needed a MC. That night, Rina took the stage for the first time and it was magic.  Since then, Rob & Rina have been working in a forgotten form of comedy as a couples act in the style of Sunny and Cher. They have been tirelessly working at their craft at countless shows in and around Southern Ontario to perfect their act.
